Newton Raphson or Quadratic Hill Climbing

SIMPLY: What is the difference between these two?

Does it matter which one i choose for my panel probit analysis?

Thanks

They're just two different ways of finding a maximum. For technical details you can consult the User Guide.

In well behaved models it will not matter which one you choose.
